Wisdom Teeth Removal – Frequently Asked Questions
When can I eat after a wisdom tooth extraction?
After your wisdom teeth removal, follow your dentist's guidelines regarding eating and drinking to support proper healing. For the first 24 to 48 hours, you may need to avoid solid foods and stick to a soft or liquid diet, such as bread and mashed potatoes. Cool treats like ice cream or chilled yogurt can help soothe discomfort and reduce swelling during this period.
Can I use Altogether for emergency wisdom tooth extractions?
Absolutely! Altogether Dental members receive coverage for all treatments, including those often excluded by insurers. If you require emergency wisdom tooth extraction, you can quickly find a dentist near you through our network.
Is a wisdom tooth extraction painful?
During the wisdom tooth extraction procedure, you shouldn't experience significant pain, as your dentist will administer local anaesthesia to numb the area around the tooth. However, you may feel some pressure or mild discomfort as the tooth is removed. Remember, always let your dental team know if the pain is becoming too much. After the procedure, as the anaesthesia wears off, it's normal to experience some soreness and jaw pain, but this can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers, as recommended by your dentist. If you have tried all the advice your dental team have given you, but it is not helping, please visit your dentist for a check-up.
How long does pain after wisdom tooth extraction last?
The duration of pain after a wisdom tooth extraction can vary from person to person. Typically, you may experience soreness and discomfort in the first few days following the procedure. The intensity of pain should gradually decrease as the healing process progresses. Most patients find significant relief within a week or two. Remember to follow your dentist's aftercare instructions and take any prescribed pain medication to manage discomfort effectively. If pain persists or worsens, consult your dentist for further evaluation.
What are the warning signs and symptoms of a dry socket?
A dry socket is a potential complication that can occur after a wisdom tooth extraction. It happens when the blood clot that forms in the socket becomes dislodged. This can leave the socket open to the environment too early causing pain, sensitivity, and discomfort. If you suspect you have a dry socket, it's crucial to contact your dentist promptly for appropriate care.
